As we let on yesterday, Matera is quite an interesting place. From the outside of the buildings, they look like normal housing. Once you step inside, you realize that it is just a facade in front of a deep cave. This area used to be a really bad place to live.
The Italian government stepped in the 1950s and kicked the entire city out. Afterwards, some leases were granted in the 1980s but for the most part, the historical center of town consists of hotels and bed and breakfasts. That means that it is quite touristy here.
Even though it is touristy, it is still an incredible sight to see. We went in to several church’s that were built in the 11 to 13th century. 
Inside there are several frescos that date back to the same period.
As the town is built in the hillside there are a ton of stairs to venture across.
After finishing our Church visits, we headed to lunch at Osteria Pico. Food was pretty good. For dinner we will hit the town again and find something delicious.
